Love this song. I think it's been overplayed, wish it was a deep album track that only the faithful appreciated, but how can you stop a great song from becoming popular? For me, I think of people like my father. Just an ordinary guy that works his ass off. Who is your hero? Some guy that can slam dunk or make a million dollars? Some hollywood actor? $#%# that @#!$, the people in your everday lives that support and protect you should be your heroes. Cried when I heard this in concert. My dad has cancer, still works his ass off, I remember watching him go out the door to work at like 6 am. There goes my hero, damn it.
@rbach48 My father is definitely who I think of when I hear this. I’ve had a Brain Tumor and I’m not even supposed to be alive especially after all of my brain surgery, years of chemotherapy and radiation. I’ve been on my deathbed three times in my life. Now I’m disabled from a tumor on my spine that causes incredible pain. My family has a headstone and a lot for me. My dad is the one who constantly runs to get my medication and painkillers. I’m 42 now but still walking around and kicking. I need a wheelchair a lot...

I’m 42 now but still walking around and kicking. I need a wheelchair a lot or at least a cain. I can still drive. I’ve been a Master Mechanic almost all my life and fix, build cars, trucks vans muscle cars until I became disabled. Now my dad drives me everywhere. Doctor appointments and all sorts of stuff! He’s my hero because of all he does for me now that I’m broken and too sick. He’s ordinary but he’s my biggest hero besides Jesus. I always hear this song in my head when I watch him leave.

Many of the best songs have a life far beyond their initial inspiration.

I just naturally interpret the meaning subjectively and personally.

I'd say that is the perfect meaning. I couldn't have said it as well.

It's great to hear a son who loves his father say so.
